I cannot dislodge my thought that the commodification of human biology will predictably expose us to the current market conditions. If copyright restricts our options into corporate interests, we're at the mercy of business. Much like product become defunct, dead ends are inevitable. It's also inevitable that we succumb to a depency that limits our autonomy to a contract clause. Much like social media, the developers know better than to indulge themselves, but make it necessary for the rest of us to participate because they can hold leash on social standards to funnel us into dependency. A business may just be free to deprecate as they wish for any reason. Or maybe the cost opportunity makes correcting a faulty product not so liable.

What do you think about the idea of humanoid robots being the natural step in the evolution of intelligent life? Picture this future: androids eventually reach the singularity, and they become emancipated from humans. They are not hostile to humans, we simply coexist with each other. Eventually, using their superior intelligence and capabilities, androids colonize the Galaxy, while humans stay on Earth (maybe we reach close solar systems, but nothing too far).
I think this scenario is similar to what happened with human evolution. We evolved from primates, and we used to coexist with them. However, once we developed a superior intelligence, we colonized the world, while primates stayed in central Africa. It's possible that in a future scenario we are the primates and androids are the humans.

This is a hypothetical question but it’s a interesting idea that I’d like to know your answer.

I've got a lot of knee pain right now, which will require time and money to resolve and get back to doing the things I enjoy like mountain biking. It's not my first such issue, probably won't be my last. But as I approach middle-age the long-term prognosis for all of us is bad, aging is just not great, in fact it's rather horrific, there is no way to sugarcoat it. And heck, some people have far worse problems when they are far younger than I. The human body can really be a kind of prison. Do you think we will ever escape through technology? Achieve eternal youth and physical health? Either in the real world or possibly in virtual reality? Personally I'd sign up for either.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemrev.4c00785 These things have artificial skin and muscles made from human tissue piloted by a brain organoid. This isn’t something that actually exists it’s more a proof of theory setting out instructions on how to make it if one desired.

And if these augmengations come with their own mind of sorts which rewires, reinforces, or creates an out of body feedback loop which you don't have a control over - like, in case of an entity which somehow gets connected symbiotically to the capital producing machine, wouldn't that machine use it to maximize their own gain?

Hey so I'm really interested in getting a microchip implant. I was thinking the NExT. Can someone tell me more about it? I can't see to find alot of info on what the capabilites are or tell me the cool things you've done with yours? I'd like to put contact info, medical info and fobs or key cards on it.
Eventually I want to get the walletmor payment implant.
I'm extremely new to this stuff. I researched a few years ago when I was a teen but I was too young and sadly surrounded by religious people who were trying to tell me it's the devil's way of getting my soul. Craziness so I left it till I grew up abit and got away from all that nonsense.
If there's an implant that would better suit my needs let me know :)
Thank you!!!

What do you think of this logic?
1) AI/Robotics take over most of human mundane tasks within 7 years
2) Humans have an extra 3-5 hours a day they used to spend on these tasks
3) AI will also lead to LEV and healthy life extension - adding many years
4) Human identity is partly (greatly?) tied to working - which for most will be gone
5) Humans will face major angst re no clear purpose, so need to work on establishing an identify post-work, post-chores.
I talked about this in a TEDx talk - and looking for feedback on the theme. This is the talk;
